Aniplex and Sony Music Japan's new venture after To Be Hero X, written from the mind of SaeKano's author Fumiaki Maruto, this idol-hero story looks normal, but deceiving at best.

The story of idols who are secretly heroes in their own right, and for the relative nobody of Kyoya Minami, cousin of SI-VIS member Yosuke Shiba, him wanting to be part of the illusive group whom the latter feels that he's not ready for the job escaping from Aomori to Shibuya in Tokyo, the former who rose to fame with his dances, captures the attention of a silver-haired girl and a small audience of which he shows off his dance moves to impress.

But within a whisk of a moment, the silver-haired girl falling into an image crevice, as is Kyoya to the rescue, sees an alternate reality where monsters are attacking in an alternate Tokyo, and the SI-VIS members having to pivot their usual mission to rescue both the girl (whom is Yosuke's sister) and their newest probationary member, this is their MO to get their idol-esque show racking with music and as heroes fighting in a city of Mirage enclosing above Tokyo. Thus, the willful sacrifice of Yosuke, and Mirage creating quite the crater in Shibuya, what's he to do about this?

Interesting premiere I would say, production is really tight (as is with most Aniplex-backed projects).

It takes place in a modern world setting with music elements and sci-fi. I wasn't sure what to expect at first but they did introduce a fair amount of the cast.

Maybe it has potential? For starters, some of the cast has charisma such as μ and Yousuke. Soundtrack also seems decent and it adds some elements of action. Very unsure yet about this anime until it airs more but not bad so far imo.

MC is kinda generic and annoying, I'm not sure I've followed the plot as much as I should have.

Overall it's ok, I'll give a few more eps to see where it goes.

An interesting twist for a band anime. The players are still 1D so let's see how they grow.

Wow a superhero anime, but they sing is a awesome idea and I am excited to see more. 7/10 so far due to somethings in this episode I would change and the pacing being bad at times. I know one thing we're getting a ton of superhero anime this year!!

Will you believe me when I said that there are three anime about idols that save the world airing in this season. One is the anime. The other two are Precure Idol and Princession Orchestra. Previous season also had Kamitsubaki but they rarely sing in that anime.

Looks like a solid enough show, but for the genre it's the soundtrack that determines life or death; it's doing a good job so far, hopefully they put the money into having a varied selection of music rather than a couple 'hero tunes'.

Honestly Si-VIS Kinda reminds me of HUNTRIX. A collab between those 2 would be kinda lit since both of them do stuff for the fans

Also Poor Kyoya…Didn’t deserve to see his cousin go out like that.

Hopefully he steps up and becomes a Helluva Leader.

so Kyoya is just another Asta wannabe? bruh, smh. eh, I'll put you with it since I'm more used to it by now. the animation is actually good so I'll be watching. the concept sounds really good plus the potential is very very high.
they just have to capture the "music" very well.
RIP, Yosuke. really loved the guy.

The production values are pretty good, but I am not sure about the rest of it. Perhaps next episode will explain just what is going on.

This would've been a hit 13 years ago with A1 helming this instead of VOLN. Dare I say old GoHands would do absolutely do wonders with this concept

Joining a music group that has nationwide fame is much different from small town gigs. Siren has quite the unique personality. As does U. Still the combo of their musical performances, abilities and the combat sure was impressive visually and flowed quite well. That ending though sure was sad though and quite the shocking one as well. Overall an pretty impressive opening ep that featured a unique premise and interesting characters. I do hope that the enemy gets expanded upon but so far so good.

First episode started off pretty good but the later half kinda turned me off. The music is pretty meh for an anime about music. Also they killed off Yosuke, a character that would've made a better MC than his cousin that seems pretty generic. I'll give it another episode.

Not really feeling much yet, even tho I wanted it to be good. Nice to hear Ran from Afterglow singing, but she needs more guitar and better songs.
RIP Shibuya, I guess I won’t be visiting Village Vanguard or Miyashita Park again. Glad I got a tourist pic in front of Hachiko before those losers failed to save it.

Was it just me, or is the sound mixing a bit too much of an afterthought for an anime marketed as an action music anime? It felt like the songs were all muffled and taking a backseat to literally anything else happening, even when the performance was front and center.

I'll give it a few more episodes, but this beginning didn't hook me at all compared to similar "action music" works like Vivy or KPop Demon Hunters do with their first five-ish minutes, let alone first twenty.

I was expecting something like you'd get from a Macross or Symphogear where it actually feels like the songs are being sung in the action and instead we got a soundtrack playing while a single character lipsynced in the background. For a show where the music was supposedly supposed to be so central a theme or whatever the actual music just seemed so shallow and flat.
